Question 5942
If you leave a vehicle parked on level ground, what must you do?
- Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake.
- Rest the front wheel against the curb.
- Always leave it in first gear.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake.
When you leave your car parked on level ground, you must turn off the engine and apply the parking brake. Leaving a gear engaged is required on slopes, and resting a wheel against the curb is one way to secure vehicles over 3,500 kg, buses, and vehicle combinations against movement on a significant slope.
